Revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 closed at $396.9m, an increase of 5% over the corresponding period in the prior year. Profit after tax of $72.3m was $1.7m or 2.3% below the comparative period 2017. This resulted in earnings per share (EPS) of $0.35, $0.01 lower than prior year EPS to date of $0.36.
The branded business sales increased by $28.3m to $380m at the end of the third quarter, an increase of 8% compared to prior year, offsetting a weak but improving bulk alcohol export segment performance. The improving performance of the domestic business is expected to result in a stronger fourth quarter.
Notwithstanding that our revenue improved in all areas, the decline in profitability over last year was largely due to investment in marketing efforts for the expansion of our overseas business which will redound to future earnings and return to our shareholders. The company is now well placed to take advantage of new opportunities.
The Group continues to maintain a robust balance sheet with strong working capital, healthy cash balances and well managed receivables.
